After hearing over and over fromGrace,PK,andEva how effective a backscratcher--they fondly refer to it as a BS--can be in the hands of the right man, I gave in and bought one.
The last time I succumbed to peer pressure and bought an implement, I was very sorry, at least for the first few times it was used on my backside. But this time things will be different.
I hope.
I didn't actually set out to buy a BS. But while I was browsing in my favourite thrift store, I just happened to wander by the shelves filled with wooden odds and ends. And there it was! So I snatched it up and hurried to the checkout, before I had a chance to reconsider.
In case you're wondering, it looks like one of these:
Brrr! I can't imagine owning a whole collection of them. Can you, Grace?
So, it's at home, hidden under the clutter on my desk. The man who wields the implements doesn't know about it yet. I'm open to suggestions as to how I should go about revealing it to Ron.
Should I:

sneak up behind him, scratch his back with it, then tell him about its other possible use?

casually lay it on the bedside table before a spanking, and let him figure it out?

put a ribbon on it and say honey, I bought you a present?

leave it on top of the clutter on my desk where he will find it the next time he's looking for a pen that works?

bury it at the bottom of the bag of donations for the thrift shop and forget about it?

Well, if you truly want him to use it, I'd put it the ribbon on it and give it to him with a naughty grin. If, on the other hand, you don't think you'll enjoy it, then toss it somewhere and forget about it until he finds it. My lemming moment resulted in a bamboo bath brush that has to be used very lightly. I don't think I'll have any trouble resisting any BS. ;)

Hm...now how did I let that one slip by? LOL. Oh right, because I already have several.

They seem to be rather popular at our store as well, they never do stay on the self long when we get one.

BSs seem almost as popular as our hand shaped fly swatters...but that's another story.

I have used back strackers. They can be quite stingy, in fact they can get very intense quickly if used in the same spot at a rapid pace. They are so light it's just too easy to swing them again and again.

They can break if swung to hard, though.

But mostly they are good but ouchie fun.

Personally, I think just slyly leaving it on the side of the bed is the best approach. No need for the bow. That way, you know it's probably coming but not knowing when will build a nice thrill of anticipation. Hm...seems to me that anticipating a spanking can sometimes be almost as much fun as the spanking itself.

Ignore everything above - everything! The only answer is "bury it at the bottom of the bag of donations for the thrift shop and forget about it". I am telling you the truth! We have two of the hateful things, thanks to Eva's Adam, Grrrrrrrr!! Mine are going on Grace's bon-fire!

But I do understand the lemmiing thing, I have a hair brush because of Cassie!

I vote for laying it casually on the bedside table. I'm sure he'll figure it out easily! I have to agree with Paul - it is bittersweet and I'm often tempted to hide mine. But it is a lovely sting that I enjoy for quite some time afterwards! Good luck & have fun!

I think you'll be sorry you ever came up with this idea! Ben has a bs that he really uses for his back, so it's always laying around the house somewhere--easy to grab and swat me with it. It hurts! Good luck with that.

K, Mark and Dragonamge think I should let him accidentally find it. Not on my desk, he won't. It attracts clutter fast! Mark's right about the note; Ron isn't good at subtle hints.

Sandy suggested an option I hadn't included.

Sparkle and Prefectdt did too - a stocking stuffer.

Paul wants me to enjoy it, however I introduce it to Ron.

Constance thinks I should enjoy it myself first. Hmmm, I like that idea.

PK wants it out of my house, pronto. Carly and Kate agree with her.

Apple hasn't tried hers for spanking (yet) but came up with a great idea for another post. Thanks!

Ms Betty and pmduo voted for the suggestion that works best in our house. Ron has never ignored a hint that obvious. Although it may end up back at the thrift store if it's as bad as some of you say it is, I'm going with this one.
